Russian Zucchini Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
• Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Beat egg and white sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in quark cheese, flour, vanilla sugar, and salt. Mix well until dough is thick and sticky.
• Divide dough into 5 to 6 portions. Form into balls and coat with some flour. Flatten slightly to form into discs (syrniki).
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-low heat. Add the syrniki; fry until browned, 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Beat together the milk and the eggs. Stir in the salt and the sugar and mix well. Add the baking soda and citric acid.
• Blend in the flour. Add the vegetable oil and pour in the boiling water, stirring constantly. The batter should be very thin, almost watery. Set the bowl aside and let it rest for 20 minutes.
• Melt a tablespoon of butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Pick the pan up off the heat. Pour in a ladleful of batter while you rotate your wrist, tilting the pan so the batter makes a circle and coats the bottom. The blini should be very thin.
• Return the pan to the heat. Cook the blini for 90 seconds. Carefully lift up an edge of the blini to see if it's fully cooked: the edges will be golden and it should have brown spots on the surface. Flip the blini over and cook the other side for 1 minute.
• Transfer the blini to a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Continue cooking the blini, adding an additional tablespoon of butter to the pan after each 4 blini. Stack them on top of each other and cover with the kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Spread your favorite filling in the center of the blini, and fold three times to make a triangle shape. You can also fold up all 4 sides, like a small burrito.

Steps:

• Place zucchini in a colander over a plate; let stand to drain. Squeeze and blot dry with paper towels., In a bowl, mix egg, cheese, baking mix and pepper. Add zucchini; toss to coat., In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Drop four pancakes into skillet; press lightly to flatten. Cook until golden brown, 2 minutes per side. If desired, serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Blot grated zucchini with paper towels to remove moisture. Stir zucchini, eggs, and onion in a large bowl. Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, and oregano in a separate bowl; stir mixture into zucchini until batter is just moistened.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop rounded spoonfuls of zucchini batter into hot oil; pan fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate.

Steps:

• Mix eggs, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add milk, flour, and oil. Mix until batter is smooth and thin.
• Heat 2 small nonstick skillets over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillets. Pour in enough batter to just cover the bottom of each skillet. Tilt the pans to spread batter evenly.
• Lift the blini carefully when edges start to brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned, about 1 minute more. Stack blini on a plate.

Steps:

• Wash and shred zucchini on a fine shredder (DO NOT PEEL).
• In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs; add shredded zucchini and mix well using a fork.
• Add flour, sugar, salt and olive oil and stir well to blend.
• Finally, add baking powder and mix using a spoon (Batter consistency should be like heavy whipping cream).
• Preheat griddle to 425- 450°F.
• If using a heavy duty frying pan, heat to medium-high heat; adjust heat if necessary.
• Rub grill or frying pan with oil before cooking each batch of pancakes.
• Spoon batter onto hot griddle (about 2 tablespoons for each pancake).
• Cook until bubbles on the top of the pancake almost stop, about 1 1/2 minutes; turn pancake over and continue to cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until pancakes are done.
• When done, rub pancakes with melted butter and place in a preheated 250 F oven to keep warm until the remainder are cooked, or serve immediately.
• Serve with your choice of jams or syrups.
• Also very good with sour cream or yogurt along with your choice of jams or syrups, or you can eat them just plain.
• These pancakes are delicious for breakfast, brunch or just as a snack anytime.

Steps:

• Grate the zucchinis and potato using the large hole grater: you should have 2 cups of grated zucchini and a ½ cup of grated potato. (Save remaining zucchini and potato for another use.) Salt generously. Put mixture in a colander lined with a tea towel and let rest for at least 15 minutes to drain out the moisture. This will help the pancakes hold together.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg. Add parsley, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and set aside. Roll and squeeze zucchini/potato mixture in the tea towel to release the moisture. Combine egg mixture with zucchini-potato mixture; add breadcrumbs as needed to absorb excess liquid.
• In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until sizzling. Drop ¼ cup-sized balls into skillet; do not overcrowd. Using a spatula, flatten the balls into thin discs for crispier results. Once the first side has browned, about 2 minutes, add another tablespoon of butter, flip the pancake, and continue to cook on the other side, about 2 minutes more, until both sides are browned and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt. Repeat until you've made all the pancakes. Serve immediately, accompanied by sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• Spread the walnuts in a single layer on another rimmed baking sheet. Bake, shaking halfway through, until toasted and fragrant, about 35 minutes. Let cool, then chop. Do not turn off the oven.
• Meanwhile, line a medium bowl with a kitchen towel. Grate the zucchini in a food processor using the grater attachment to yield 2 cups (see Cook's Note). Transfer the grated zucchini to the towel-lined bowl and gather the sides to make a bundle. Squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible. Discard the liquid and set the zucchini aside.
• Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and kosher salt in another medium bowl.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. Stir in the grated zucchini. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake (the batter is fairly thick, so you may need to spread it a bit). Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to space them apart evenly. Cook until the edges begin to brown and bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to prepared rack and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
• Serve the pancakes warm with salted butter, the toasted chopped walnuts and maple syrup.

Steps:

• Add lemon juice to a cup of milk. Set aside until milk starts to curdle, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in curdled milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon or whisk until the batter is just combined. Add shredded zucchini and mix until well incorporated.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 2 more minutes.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl thoroughly.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry like you would any other pancake on both sides.
• Remove from pan to drain and serve with sour cream.
